Arthroscopy and Reconstructive Surgery

At Duke, patients can often benefit from arthroscopy of the ankle, which can be used to assess or repair damage.'

Because only a small incision is necessary, benefits may include faster recovery, less scarring, and fewer complications than with open surgery.

Reconstructive surgery to treat posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and diabetic neuropathy are also offered.
